Let’s Get Ready for a Revival

Day #19

All About the Kiddos

 

Ok I say this is for the kiddos, but if I”m honest these meals are for me….a big kid apparently. I happen to love these simple dishes, they remind me of my childhood. So really they are for everyone, but of course with a twist. They are not from a box (like those little blue boxes of kid cuisine I use to love) or a can (hello spaghettio’s)! They are from scratch made with whole ingredients.

 

If you’ve read my previous posts this month I think your seeing a theme of well staying at home and cooking.  To fall back in love with our food and our kitchens. I don’t think there’s much of an option not to. It’s just to important to not throw all your knowledge of what good food is out of the window and bury your head in the sand. Yep, I’m getting pretty opinionated here but someone’s got to say it. It’s time we slow down, enjoy our food and make it a priority.

 

Remember my  huge tip about setting everything out at the table and letting everyone self serve! Trust me it works! My friend tried it last  night and voila, all 3 of them including a 3 year old did a lot by himself. A success to us!

 

Below you will find some recipes all from homemade ingredients that we grow right on our homestead.

  • Get Me The Plantain! Stat!

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Today I was removing seeds from a mammoth sunflower because everyone is doing that right now… right? Well, something VERY pokey got me right in the crook of my thumb where it bends. OUCH. I pulled it out and thought, eh, it’ll be fine. A few minutes later it had swollen…

  • I don’t trust next year’s garden.

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader I have a confession. I don’t trust next year’s garden. I trust God. I just don’t trust my vegetables to cooperate. Case in point: one year my banana peppers went absolutely gangbusters. We had peppers coming out our ears. The next year? Zip. Zero. Zilch. Gardens are fickle little things. That’s…

  • You do not need 47 bottles under your sink

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Why do we need a different bottle for every single surface in the house? One for the counter. One for the mirror. One for the bathroom. One for the furniture. One for the dishwasher. And one mystery bottle shoved all the way in the back that nobody remembers buying. Your cleaning…

  • The weather changed… bring on the soup

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader The weather is changing around here, especially at night, and boy has it been moody! The clouds have been fabulous to watch—light, dark, constantly changing and bringing in these splashes of sunshine and darkness. It’s fabulous. And you know what else it means? SOUP SEASON. Click below to see all my…

  • The Secret My Messy Garden Is Holding

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Our holiday weekend was spent doing what holiday weekends apparently look like around here—processing chickens and canning broth. I found 14 quarts’ worth of broth hiding in the freezer, so I canned all of that just in time to make room for the chickens we processed on Sunday. This was our…

  • What’s taking over your kitchen counters?

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader What is taking over your kitchen counters right now? Zukes? Maters? Beans? Peppers? Herbs? Around here, it is a little bit of everything. The zucchini keeps coming, so we’re making creamy zucchini soup, zucchini spaghetti, chocolate zucchini cake, and shredding plenty for the freezer. The tomatoes are becoming fresh BLTs, roasted…
